well im trying to stop this very annoying sqeak in the drivers side, which i think is the bushings, but im not positive. So i found a used set of springs, shocks, struts for the drivers side for $60 (is that an ok price?) so i would probably replace those. Also would that stop the squeak or do you guys think it is something else?

well it squeaked when i got it a little over a year ago, but stopped in the rainy season and now that it is warm again it is squeaky again. it does it when i push on the front drivers side fender, and it does it when im driving like under 30. I can hear it with every single little bump. it also squeaks sometimes when i turn the steering wheel.
